A despatch from Buffalo says : Several suspects have been arrest- ed here in connection with the in- vestigation being made by the Buf- falo police with a view to finding out what white men smuggled from Canada to this port the ten China- men, six of whom were drowned and four rescued at the Govern- ment breakwall here early on Thursday morning. So far none of the suspects arrested has been iden- tified by the four survivors. Chief o^ Police Taylor of Buffalo said he did not believe any white mer; lost their lives in connection with the case. "The bodies of the last two of the six Chinese victims were re- covered on Thursday afternoon. It 13 said that in the pockets of one of the drowned men were found the name and address of Marks Co., 687 Yonge street, Toronto. The name of this victim is not known. Two boats in which the ten Chinamen had crossed from the Ca- nadian shore were wrecked against the breakwall, half a mile east of Michigan avenue, at an early hour en Thursday morning, probably about 1.30. The sea was running high and the men were thrown in- to the water and dashed again and again against the rocks. How the survivors came through the terrible hours that followed is a mystery, for it was not till quite 3.30 that Ralph White, a watchman on the stone b'oat Atlas, which was work> ling on the breakwall, heard a cry in the darkness. He landed to in- vestigate and met a bruii.ed and bedraggled Chinaman crawling to- ward the boat. White helped the chattering man aboard aud then roused the crew to help him look for others. In a short time three more Chinamen had been pulled ever the rocks and set down to dry and toast beside the engine. The four men said they had come from Toronto, and gave their names an Mock Quong, aged 42; Pong Sing, 25; Ching Jing, 22, and Chin Jon, 19. The crew of the Atlas could find nc more survivors, and though they sent repeated signals to the life- saving station, n.^ boat was sent cut till daybreak, by which time the gasoline launch and rowboat 111 which the Chinamen had crossed from the Canadian shore had been dashed to splinters. The life-sav- ers could do nothing when they ar- rived, but attempted to extricate the six bodies, which had been bea- ten in among the rocks of the breakwall, and were showing here a bare stiff arm, with clenched fish thrust up; there a frozen yellow leg, and again a bundle of sodden rags and flesh tightly wedged in e rock crevice. Four of the bodies were recovered, the others reaiain- ing tightly fastened in the rocks. Dec, $1.0lX to $1.04%; May, $1.- 08% to $1.08>i; cash wheat.

A despatch from Cobalt says : On Thursday, about 4.30 o'clock in tho afternoon, two women living alone in a small log shack about a mile east of Argentito were at- tacked by a man evidently bent up- f n robbery, but he may have a mur- der charge to face if captured.

A despatch from Saskatoon, Sask., says: While skating with a party of friends on Wednesday night on tho Hudson's Bay slough Alfred W. Harvey fell heavily on his head near an air hole, break- ing through the ice and skidding for some distance beneath. Not knowing the depth of the water, which subsequently proved to be only two feet, his friends formed a chain, and after some ten min- utes' distressing work succeeded in celling the unfortunate man to the bank, by which time, however, it was too late. The deceased was about twenty-four years of age, and came here some years ago from London, England. Greatest Mine Disaster of Many Years in Germany. A despatch from Hamm, West- phalio, Germany, says : The great- est ni'ue disaster in many years in Germany occurred on Thursday morning at tlw Redbod mine, three miles from here. There was a very heavy explosion in the mine about 4 a.m., and almost immedi- ately tho mine took fire. Of 380 miners only six escaped without in- jury. Thirty-five were taken out badly injured, and 37 bodies were brought out. The remaining 302 have been given up for lost. The •â- xplosion destroyed one ot the shafts, which had to bo partly re- paired before the rescue work was btgUQ. Heartrending scenes were enact- ed at the mine when the dead and wounded were brought to the sur- face, and there were similar scenej .n the town when the injured were tiansportcd through the streets to the ho.spitals. Finally the fire had made such ! great headway that it was decided j that any further attempts to res- I cue tho entombed men were vain, â-  owing to the impossibility of enter- ing the galleries. At the same time an order was issued to flood the I mine. First reports indicated that the accident was the result of an f xi>lopion of coal dust, but tho statements of the injured men ren- der this impossible.
